We also had a strong 3rd party campaign by Ross Perot in both 1992 and 1996. I’m surprised the writer of this article didn’t mention Perot at all. Perot got 8% of the popular vote in 1996. He drained more votes from the Republicans in both ‘92 and ‘96 than he did from Democrats. Bill Clinton may still have been re-elected in ‘96, but it would have been a much closer election without Perot in the race.

And, despite all of that, Clinton probably would have been defeated anyway in 1992 if Cap Weinberger hadn’t been indicted in an “October Surprise.”

I’m trying to get all the info on the scandal collected and available in one place...

“We also had a strong 3rd party campaign by Ross Perot”

one suggested correction:

We also had a stupid 3rd party campaign by Ross Perot

I have never forgiven that jug-eared idiot for inflicting clintoon on us for two terms. And YES, it was his fault.

My prayers are that some other delusional moron doesn’t float to the top of the bowl and give us zero 2.0.
